The job rotation plan and individually tailored training program are really exciting and helpful for young people like me.Task 2Is that your wife, Mr. Carter? She is so beautiful.Avoid asking interviewer personal questions or making personal comments. Could you tell me how much the new job pays?The interviewer might infer from these questions that you are only interested in your own needs and not those of their company. Wait until the employer raises these subjects to discuss them.What about the paid holidays, insurance, and things like that?How much time will it take for me to be promoted here?But in which cities do you have your branches? And where is your company based?It is also unwise to ask about things you should have already known. You are only telling the interviewer that you haven't done your homework.Part II Language FocusName: CaiNingPersonality: serious-minded; calm; humorous; easy-goingStrengths: the ability to work with all types of peopleWeakness: perfectionist; impatientWork experience: six years’ financial industry experience with severalcompanies; two years’ experience in an investment bankQualification: graduated from Peking University in 2001 majoring inaccounting; fluent English; bookkeepingand accounting proficiency inEnglish.Reasons for leaving last job: want to find a job that is challenging.Questions about the job: Would I be able to work abroad in one of youroverseas branches?Part III Viewing and SpeakingVideo 1Reasons for joining the It is one of the leading international consultant corporationscompany which came to China after China entered WTO.Working in thiscompany would give him the best chance to use what he haslearned at university.Relevant work experience He was involved in a factory restoration in Nanjing.

32全国国际商务英语培训认证考试(一级)口语模拟试题01参考答案全国国际商务英语培训认证考试口语模拟试题全国国际商务英语培训认证考试(一级)口语模拟试题(1)参考答案Section AConsumer buying behavior is a complex matter affected by many factors:Culture is one of the factors that influence behavior. Culture refers to a set of values, ideas, and attitudes accepted by a group of people. It generally determines what people wear, eat, reside and travel, and what people like and dislike. So, it deeply influences people's buying behavior.People's social class is another important factor. It determines the type, the quality and quantity of products or services that a consumer buys and uses. People's role within society, their education and income have impact on their lifestyle, so what they buy differs. To some extent, consumers of similar social rank tend to have similar buying behavior.Marketing and advertising obviously influence consumers as well. They try to evoke consumers to purchase a particular product or service. Or, they persuade those consumers who have already tried the product to reuse. They also help establish consumers' brand loyalty.All these factors are connected to influence customer buying behavior.Section B1. The CN-21 recorder is out of stock now and we no longer produce it.2.

GOING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW COMPANY PROFILE APPEARANCE AND BODY LANGUAGE ARRIVING ON TIME正确答案:A: Personally I think the work in the travel industry as a tour representative is not all sun and sea.In fact it’s often a very hard job.Basically, it involves looking after people when they’re on holidays.I am responsible for sorting out any problems and I often have to deal with complaints.The work also involves entertaining the holidaymakers and their children.The obvious one of the perks is that I get to travel a lot and experience different cultures.I will really value that aspect of the work.I work harmoniously with my colleagues, which brings me fresh air and energy.Frankly speaking, I’d like to work with them and learn from them.B: Generally speaking, if I am going for a job interview, firstly I must arrive there on time as punctuality can give interviewer a good impression.Secondly, I will show my decent appearance with the formal dressing.I will wear a white shirt and a silk tie and have my hair neatly trimmed.Besides I will express myself gently with proper gesture.Finally I will sell myself with professional knowledge and let interviewers know I am a skillful and competitive candidate.Knowing some company history or profile ensures me an easy access to the everyday operation of the company.Every employer, as we all know,is more inclined to hire a good workman, a fast learner.So I will also talk a little about the company history or profile during an interview.涉及知识点:口语SECTION 2 MINI PRESENTATIONS (ABOUT 6 MIN)In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic.

Do you want to know company history? Do you obey company rules? Do you think company organization is important?(Why?/Why not?) Do you think product training is also important?(Why?/Why not?)正确答案:A: Training is vital if manufacturers are to improve productivity, maximize machine utilization, and achieve optimum equipment performance.Effective training also impacts positively on the reduction of scrap and rework,and helps boost employee confidence.B: I consider computer skill one of the most important skills in this developed world, and everything is connected with the computer operation.So new staff should learn how to operate on the computer.A: Undoubtedly, working as a member of a team is one of the most important factors for a successful career.In modern society we must learn to communicate and cooperate with others.B: Certainly.That is why we often say the whole is better than the parts.And that is why we value team spirit so highly.Secondly as we know,customer is the God.Our customer service is the lifeline of our company and decides its future.Finally there is a saying in China—Health is the basis of everything.We also cannot miss the importance of health and safety.A: Yes, I couldn’t agree more.Although I know that there are no guarantees in life, yet job safety and security is really very basic to us.Personally I think true job security comes only from making meaningful contribution to the company.And also it is important for the company to set up a training program on company rules.We know that flexible rules are a direct result of an increasingly dynamic and fiercely competitive business climate where process agility and responsiveness to changing conditions are key.In other words,business processes “process “ rules and business rules “rule “ processes.B: Yes, you are quite right.Follow-on questions Yes, I think teamwork cannot only collect our selected ideas and power into one project but also make us work hard together.And competition is a source of motivation which drives us to unleash our potentiality.I do think it is necessary, since we are playing proper roles as members of the company.So knowing company history will deepen our understanding of that role.It is necessary to obey company rules as the company is like a machine.Everything can be well done on the base of orderly running of each part.Employees like the parts of the machine need to obey the rules to get it well organized.I think company organization is really important especially for the company management.Every department needs a head under whom we get our work divided and work effectively.Personally I think producttraining can polish our eyes for different products and their advantages and disadvantages.With this knowledge we can know how to sell the products to our customer and to tell different characteristics.涉及知识点:口语。

What do you think makes good customer care? Yes, I have ever experienced a situation in which the customer care was very good.And in my opinion a good customer care is to serve the people by heart and make every effort, that means he or she should be professional and friendly.Even when a situation is not easily resolved, a caring and motivated person can usually find a way to help.So a good customer care is not to say “sorry, i can't” with smiling.2.What is customer loyalty?Are you a loyal customer? Why or why not?Customer loyalty is that the customer frequently uses the same company or buys the same product.Yes,I am a particularly loyal customer to the ICBC(industrial and commercial Bank of China)first of all, because they are extremely convenient to use.Ican do all my banking over the phone and I can do this at any time of the day.I can find how much money there is in my account.I can pay all my bills.I also think the staff are very professional and very friendly.3.What kind of company can be called multinational?

Can you list at least 3 types of retail outlet and say the characteristic of each respectively? Retailing is the provision of goods and services to the customer.For example, supermarket, hypermarket and specialist retailer.The supermarket is a large self-service shop selling food and drink and also small household items.The hypermarket is a very large supermarket often located on the edge of a town or city.The specialist retailer is a shop which only sells one type of product, usually of high quality.6.What are the four ways in which advertising can work?

What do you think is the workplace culture in our country and why do you think so?

T ake a factor as example, and say why it can influence price.In my opinion, some of the variations in price are due to the differences in exchange rates, some are due to the differences in local raw materials and production or shipping costs, and some are due to variation in taxes.And for some brands it may be that multinational companies are charging what they think the market will bear.Also it may be because the salaries are different.For example, if the salaries are low and then people won't be able to the expensive things.So the price should be low.9.What is unique selling point?
